I bought a couple of books from Andrew. They arrived as described and quickly. Thanks!

Here are two my most recent robot covers. I've always loved these covers. These are kind of beat up, but still present well. I'm psyched to have them!

General question: In sales threads with a lot of books, do you prefer to see full size scans posted in the thread (which requires a lot more paging to make it through the thread), or do you prefer clickable thumbnail scans, which make the threads more svelte (but requires you to click to see big scans of the books you're interested in)?

 

I prefer full-sized front and back in the thread. Show me what ya got.

Me too.

Great pickups Jamie! You can't go wrong with Jack Kamen either! Are they the books you picked up in Boston?

 

Those were from the boards actually! Here were my Boston Con pickups:

Now if I can just score my GAG #6 shark cover I'll have that run. I actually think I owe the group shot thread a pic or two...

Nice and congrats on the completion of the run!

Thanks for listing everything. (thumbs u

I've seen others do the same thing. It feels slightly overkill to me, but I can't say I don't get it. In any case, more protection is never a bad thing. (thumbs u

 

Alas, 99% of my Golden and Silver Age books are mid-grade or lower, so this method is probably unnecessary for me, anyway. A single M2 with a fullback/halfback will suffice.

Yup, that's why I called it the obsessive compulsive method.

Ooh. The last post was a bit cynical. What an .

 

 

 

Which post are you referring to? If you're referring to my post, there is nothing cynical about it. I was dead serious - that is exactly how I do it. I also put two sheets of mcp next to both covers.

I'm pretty sure he's jokingly referring to his own post and his jab at Comics General.

Thanks for responding to this. Since, mine was one of the more recent posts I didn't want him (or anyone else) to think I was being cynical. I really do bag my "better" books the way I described.

I purchased Space Adventures #8 from Michael.. Extremely smooth transaction, fast shipping and the book arrived as described. The book is beautiful. Thanks Michael!

I use the Obsessive-Compulsive method: I insert the book upside-down into the M2, so that the flap is at the bottom. Then I fold the flap towards the back cover and insert the M2, flap first, into an Archive.

I am really upset that they did away with lime Skittles.

I bought several Strange Tales from Francisco. They arrived quickly and as described. I would buy from him again.

I bought a hulk 182 from Scott. Great communications, very easy to deal with, fast shipping and most importantly a great book! Thanks Scott!

I bought a couple of Wrightson cover Swamp Things from Greg. Fast shipping, great communications, Great books! Thanks Greg.

MrBedrock Those covers are awesome!

I bought a few books from Jeremy. He is a great communicator and fun to talk with. The books I purchased were shipped fast and arrived in excellent condition. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Jeremy again.

You do it.

 

ugh how?!!

I believe you just emulate the latest update to the PL, change the date and note/date who is being added.

Amazing copy! Congrats!

 

I've been quiet on this thread the last few weeks because I've been waiting for this to arrive and I finally picked it up yesterday!

Hopefully I'll have time before the B's game tonight to take pics of it with it's sister cover, the STT #11. I really never thought I'd be able to own this book and I'm ecstatic that I've now got it in my greedy little hands.

 

Now, to hunt down a Suspense #4 and the elusive Capt Aero #26 (along with the laundry list of stuff in my sig line)!

Congrats Jamie! I'm happy for you.

Anyone else feeling extra reticent about buying CGC comics with tape notations since they changed their policy?

Although, I have bought a few CGC books, I have always been a little reticent. The new policy just reinforces my reticence!

 

For me personally, it's the sense of community that's paramount. If someone has been demonstratively treated poorly by another boardie, I am going to stand beside the board member who has been wronged.

 

Everyone has a choice.

+1 I agree that the sense of community is paramount. (thumbs u

Quoted from Apirl 23, 2012:

 

I've got a question: I purchased an original cover via Paypal through an art rep and the OA had to come from Italy - I have not recieved it. The art rep is someone I have dealt with before, and very communicative. I have no reason to believe there is anything shady or underhanded going on.

 

However, I am approaching my 45 days on Paypal - do I just cross my fingers hoping the art shows up and assume the art rep will make it right should something happen?

 

If it was me, yes.

Thanks - I am actually pretty confident everything will be fine - I was just hoping to get some opinions from seasoned OA buyers.

 

It's been another month since I was last told it was "on it's way". Should I be getting nervous yet? Or is this a normal timeframe for art coming via Europe? Again, just looking for opinions and observations - not cold, hard fact. I've sent an email to the dealer politely asking for an update - but I am curious to how long is too long before I escalate my requests to have my purchased product delivered or money refunded.

I don't know if this helps you or not. I recently purchased a piece of OA that was being shipped from Belgium to the east coast of the US. I purchased on April 5 and it arrived on May 6.

Robot covers is a great theme for a collection.

Not my books, but I've always liked these two:

... I just felt I needed to add in my 2cents on this whole situation because I think it speaks to how a lot of boardies have been feeling lately. The boards are not eBay or Comiclink or some other method of buying or selling books. It is a community, Some people actually become friends and like to talk/hang out. We all share a wonderful common thread, comics...

Exactly!

Sure, take him off.

Do I take him off or wait for a mod to do it?
